File cpio-open_nonblock.patch of Package cpio
From: Alexey Svistunov <svalx@svalx.net> Date: 2017-02-17 16:07:00 +0300 Subject: open device with O_NONBLOCK option References: https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?9263, bnc#94449 Upstream: submitted When running the 2.6 kernel, "mt -f /dev/nst0 status" blocks if there is no media in the drive. The same occurs for other commands. When running the 2.4.24 kernel, "mt -f /dev/nst0 status" does not block when there is no tape in the drive. This behavior change is documented for the 2.6 kernel (see kernel-source-2.6.3/Documentation/scsi/st.txt for the full doc): If the open option O_NONBLOCK is used, open succeeds even if the drive is not ready. If O_NONBLOCK is not used, the driver waits for the drive to become ready. If this does not happen in ST_BLOCK_SECONDS seconds, open fails with the errno value EIO. With O_NONBLOCK the device can be opened for writing even if there is a write protected tape in the drive (commands trying to write something return error if attempted). It appears that the use of O_NONBLOCK is safe with pre-2.6 kernels. Suggest adding the use of O_NONBLOCK when opening the device. As it is, for long-running commands such as "fsf", one cannot tell if the command is progressing or if it's blocking waiting for media.
